Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Midget, 3/16oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #13059

Stamping the iconic black devil head logo onto its polished surface, Eppinger ensures the Dardevle Midget remains a staple for targeting panfish and trout. This specific 3/16 oz (5 g) casting spoon features the time-tested red and white striped enamel finish on the front, paired with a bright nickel-plated back intended for clear water visibility. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.8 cm) in length, it carries the heritage of Lou Eppinger’s designs, which have been produced in Michigan since 1906. The hardware consists of a treble hook secured by a split ring, and the lure is preserved in its original factory blister pack, identified by product code 13059. Intended for species like bass and salmon, the spoon's construction relies on proprietary dies that have defined the brand's profile for decades. This specimen is unused and remains in excellent condition.
